Oral GABA? The only one I know that works somewhat is
PharmaGaba. I used this myself for about 6mos during a family stressor. It worked for me, twice a day.
It is not a strong effect, but enough to take the edge off a severe
anxiety.

Most GABA is not absorbed well orally.
Using precursors is sometimes recommended. L-glutamine is one.

Thanks for the link. That type is not likely to work.
The PharmaGaba is a special type...not commonly found in
stores. I got mine on Amazon.

The phenibut... that is in the Kavinace, mentioned above,
gets some positive reviews at times. But the PharmaGaba is about 1/2 the cost of the phenibut brands.

Also what does work a little for anxiety is Theanine.
I use Doctor's Best brand when I take it. My son also likes it.
Dr. Blaylock suggests it in his newsletter for peripheral neuropathy symptoms as well. One of our posters gets his newsletter, and she put that information up on PN about a year ago.

But the regular gaba supplements are inactivated in the stomach and not absorbed well.

I've been taking both of these for a few years now to offset some anxiety brought on by hormone changes in my middle age body. I also take 5-htp at night and the combination has helped me a lot with anxious feelings. I get my supplements from Amazon too -- NOW makes them. Anyhow, these have helped me and just passing that along.

Best to you

[size="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.

Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.

Therapy I had: vestibular

3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.

9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.

Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
